Rescuing religion

About this book

John Van Hagen grapples with the tension created by science's challenges to the historicity of the major Bible stories: Moses never existed, Jesus did not start a church. He argues that the challenges of modern scholarship present an opportunity for religious growth. We can now go behind the biblical stories and glimpse the storytellers who suffered enormous crises of faith. Their struggles, in turn, will inspire us as we face our own global challenges.
